Peavy is scheduled to make his Giants debut on Sunday when he toes the slab against the Dodgers. While he struggled through his first 20 starts on the season (4.72 ERA, 1.43 WHIP), he should certainly benefit from a return to the National League West and is worth a look if available in mixed leagues.

Yadier Molina (concussion) said he's hoping to play again this season, possibly as early as Thursday.

Molina was pulled from Monday's series opener against the Cubs after taking consecutive foul tips off his mask and he vomited as he walked off the field, but he told reporters Tuesday that the nausea has already passed. It'd probably be wise for the Cardinals to simply shut him down, but they have not been mathematically eliminated from the postseason quite yet. Carson Kelly is starting behind the plate for St. Louis on Tuesday versus Chicago.

Adam Jones (leg) remains out of the Orioles' starting lineup for Tuesday night's series opener against the Pirates.

Jones also missed Sunday's series finale against the Rays due to what is being called "general leg soreness." Austin Hays is starting in center field and batting leadoff Tuesday versus Pirates right-hander Trevor Williams. Anthony Santander is in right field and hitting eighth.

Jose Altuve (forearm) is absent from the Astros' starting lineup on Tuesday night.

Altuve was removed from Monday's series opener against the Rangers after getting plunked on the left forearm by a pitch. X-rays turned up negative and he's considered day-to-day. Marwin Gonzalez will start at second base and bat fifth Tuesday versus Texas left-hander Cole Hamels.

A CT scan taken Tuesday on Mookie Betts' left wrist showed no structural damage.

Betts has been diagnosed with inflammation and a bone bruise and he will be held out of the Red Sox starting lineup on Tuesday night against the Blue Jays, but Boston dodged a bullet here. The 24-year-old outfielder should be fully ready for the postseason, even if he doesn't play much over these final six days of the regular season.

Jeimer Candelario (knee) is back in the Tigers' starting lineup Tuesday night against the Royals.

Candelario bruised his right knee over the weekend when he ran into the fence in front of the Tigers' dugout while trying to track down a foul ball, but he's clearly feeling better now. The 23-year-old third baseman will bat cleanup Tuesday versus Kansas City left-hander Jason Vargas.

Miguel Cabrera (back) remains out of the Tigers' starting lineup on Tuesday versus the Royals.

Cabrera was diagnosed over the weekend with two herniated discs in his back and he might not see much playing time -- if any at all -- over the Tigers' final six regular-season games. Efren Navarro is starting at first base and batting seventh Tuesday night against Kansas City left-hander Jason Vargas. John Hicks will DH.

Hicks, fresh off missing most of September with an oblique strain, will bat leadoff in his return. Jacoby Ellsbury and Brett Gardner are both on the bench against lefty Blake Snell while Clint Frazier makes a start in left field.
